At Singapore Changi Airport, longer layovers can be enjoyed with a guided city experience through the official transit tour programme, typically available if you have at least 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. This lets you see highlights of the city before returning in time for your onward flight.

For shorter layovers, you can stay airside and explore Changi Airport’s gardens, quiet rest areas, and walking routes between terminals. Selected terminals also feature attractions such as indoor landscaping, family spaces, and comfortable seating zones ideal for a brief pause.

If you prefer to refresh, consider booking a room at an airport hotel or using pay-per-use lounges and shower facilities. Your time at Singapore Changi Airport is more than just a wait — it is an integral part of your journey.

At Johannesburg (O.R. Tambo) International Airport, it is usually most comfortable to remain airside during your layover, especially for shorter connection times. The airport offers cafés, restaurants, and seating areas where you can relax between flights.
